GAME TO-DAY.

will probably not be so one-sided as that of
yesterday, although the Portlands ought to
win it. Game will be called at 3 o'clock.
PoRTLANDs, %; HAvERHILLs, 8.
The Haverhill team in the New England
League is a much different team from the
one that represented that city last year, and
the Portland team is proving itself to be
fairly as strong as the one that represented
this city last year. Consequently the game
yesterday between the two clubs was rather
one sided affair and all the bad umpiring in
the world couldn't have made it otherwise.
The Haverhills presented what was supposed
to be their strongest team. but the playing Of
some of its members was decidedly amateur
ish. The Yingling brothers were quickly
disposed Of. although the catcher did very
well, and Lally and Doyle were substituted.
Twelve of the runs the Portlands got. how
ever, were scored after the change was made,
so that neither of the pitchers were very
effective against them. Lally was an i'm
provement, though, and II the Yinglings had
staid in the game might have lasted day or
two. Young Clarkson pitched for Portland,
Small being sick, and did very well. Thayer
caught him and played good game, having
only one passed ball. Andrus played at
second base and Duffey in right field
The Portlands opened at the bat, and the
way they went at Mr.. Yingling was eau
tion. Andrus started with a two base hit TO
right field, and Dickerson followed with
hot grounder In the same direction, also good
for two bases. Hatfield went cut at first,
and then Thayer and DAWN placed the ball
in left field for two bases each. Sch0eneck
and Duffey got singles, and the inning closed
with five runs to the Portlands' credit.
Andrus opened the second inning with a
long hit to right field, which Lawior dropped
Dickerson followed with single; Thayer
struck out; DAWN got his base on balls, and
| then Schoeneck, Duffey and Lufbery fol-
| lowed with safe hits. After eleven men had
| been at the bat, the inning closed with six
| more runs scored. The next inning Lally
| went into the box, but the inning was equal
| the Portlands' score before it closed. After
| tnat he held the Portlands down q little
better, blanking them in three innings.
| The Haverhills scored their first run in the
third inning. G.. Yingling got two base
j hit to left field, stole third and came home on
1 POlhemus' hit. Two more were added in the
| sixth on hit, two put outs and a passed
| ball. In the eighth they earned another on
| hits by Lawlor, McCann and J., Yingling,
and made one more in the ninth on base on
balls, two steals and muff of Farrow's fly
| by DAWN.
There were no specially brilliant features
| to the game. Andrus as second baseman
did finely, and the score will show that the
| fielding as well as the batting of the Port
lands was excellent. The visitors gave 8
| very poor exhibition Of fielding and some oi
their work would have put to shame the
Young Americas. Lawlor made very gooC
stop of Thayer's hard hit in the sixth inning
Following is the score:
